Immigrants often experience domestic violence, especially if a spouse or child depends on the sponsorship of their abuser. In response to this issue, Congress has put laws into place that protect women, men, and children who experience family violence or emotional abuse. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) helps abused immigrants petition for legal status in the United States without relying on their abuser as a sponsor.
Our immigration attorneys at Sussman Law Firm, PLLC, are proud to assist victims of domestic violence in petitioning for a status adjustment in the U.S. A seasoned Charlotte VAWA lawyer is ready to help you. Call our office today to schedule an immigration consultation. En Español
